Alec Ounsworth - Holy, Holy, Holy Moses (Song For New Orleans) lyrics

Holy, Holy, Holy Moses* Can't you hear me holy Moses? Good God, I've said I've seen rain and fog Lord God knows that I've seen rain and fod Holy, Holy, Holy Moses Don't you fear me holy Moses? I'm a stranger to my own homeland Stranger, stranger, to my myself I am Are you a stranger to me, too? La, La, La, La, La, La God spilled rain upon the water And the car got sunk, and my ma got drunk And my faith got shook How can I claim New Orleans I'm just wishing that the sun shines On my brother Holy, Holy, Holy Moses Don't you fear me holy Moses? I have put your portrait in the sand High tide coming in like New Orleans
